Ther have only been a very limited number of those cases though, and they were required to keep a photographic diary of the various cars coming and going, being stripped and such.
1 or two cars being repaired won't even get a minutes notice with the authorities, what with the cutbacks now they won't even bother to respond to someone complaining.
Seeing as she claims to be a copper she probably wants to watch herself anyway, if she attempts to use her contacts, or official powers to cause the OP trouble she can quite rightly be done for it.
